Journal Entry:
Spent the morning packing and organizing everything to fit in the car again. Also cleaned up the car some and organized in general. Had lunch at the pub-garage again. The weather wasn't looking so good so I hit the internet cafe and ended up spending most of the day there. Now the Country Index lists the number of photos taken in each country.

Late afternoon Susie called and told me that she wasn't going to be able to pick up my H/PC. That means I won't be able to get it for quite a while since I don't know when I'll be someplace long enough to have it sent. So I went out and bought the P/PC I was so proud of not buying the other day! Oh well!

I went back to the hotel to play with my new toy - fun, but it's nowhere near as good as my other one (though it is alot smaller). Then went out to meet Rachel. Met her, her boyfriend Mitchell, and their friend Sharon at a pub. Had a few beers, then went down the street for a fantastic Indian meal (and a bottle of wine each). Then it was off to another pub for several more beers. Unfortunately (fortunately?) tomorrow is good Friday so all the pubs and bars had to close at midnight. So then the brilliant idea was to go back to Mitchell's for a few more bottles of wine. Next thing I know it's five AM, I'm slaughtered, and I'm supposed to go pick Susie up from the airport in three hours!
